Abstract: 2983. Darwin, H. Feb. 10. Testing strength and elasticity of materials; micrometer gauges.-A uniform setting for tightness &c. of micrometer gauging-apparatus is ensured by the use of a vibrating feeling - piece, which, upon displacement, can move across the axis of the micrometer screw, both the degree of freedom and the sound produced depending upon the pressure of the point of the screw upon the plate. The arrangement is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 applied to the extensometer of a testing-machine. The measurement is taken between an upper pair of centre-points C and a lower pair D' ; the upper pair is carried by a frame B, which can pivot about the centre points and is kept pressed by the weight M upon a knife-edge D' carried by the frame D in which the lower centre points are mounted. A small plate H forms the contact surface for the knife-edge and is secured to the frame B by two studs whereby adjustment may be made to suit the length of the micrometer screw E, which, with its head E<1> and fixed scale E', is carried by the lower frame D. Readings are taken when the point of the screw is just in contact with a plate G<1> upon a thin metal arm G, adapted when displaced by the finger to vibrate in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the screw. Means are provided for withdrawing the centre points from the specimen without causing them to rotate ; each is clamped between a #-groove in its frame and a plate J supported by studs K, K<1>, one of which is adjustable by means of a milled head K<3>. Upon releasing the pressure, the centre point may be moved in the direction of its length by means of a nut L', threaded upon a fixed screw L and provided with means for holding a flange upon the end of the centre point. In a modification, the vibrating feeling-piece is shaped like a tuning- fork to prevent communication of motion to the frame &c.
